Study Of National Unity Means

Marxist two predictions of the trend of national development are national self-determination and national unity. The first one is proved by the national independence and liberation movement in history, the other one which is closely associated with the integration trend will become reality gradually. Two movements having seemingly opposite directions reflect the different needs of national development. The national self-determination reflects problems which were not solved in history while the national unity is the need of globalization. In this process, the two trends can't be separated completely:aspirations and trends of national unity appeared after the national self-determination movement and the principle of national self-determination ran through the process of national unity. The essence of national development is a contradictory unity movement, taking the process of the development of European nation-states as a typical example.This paper illustrates the contents of Marxist theory of the trend of national development by examining the process of the development of European nation-states and closely analyses the factors leading European national self-determination moving toward unity rather than isolation. This paper tries to seek a new way to solve the problems of the difficulty of European integration from a new perspective.In addition, it is because of the fact that the development of nationality in the world is not a balanced situation, if the European nation is taking a typical path of national unity, then another road is chosen by the multinational countries. Therefore, the paper also reviews the historical process of national unity of two multinational countries:the Soviet Union and China. The paper tries to make integral links of ways in nation building taken by different types of countries.This paper does depth theoretical exploration and empirical research on Marxist theory of the trend of national development, especially the theory of national unity from vertical and horizontal lines in history.The first chapter:the contents and the values of Marxist theory of the trend of national development. This chapter mainly introduces Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and the Communist Party of China's illustrations of national self-determination, national unity and national integration and analyses the historical value and limitations of Marxist theory of the trend of national development.The second chapter:the European nation-state's national self-determination and national unity. This chapter considers the European nation-state's independence, construction, national policies and diplomacy from the perspectives of national self-determination and national unity and also demonstrates the dialectical relations between national self-determination and national unity in the process of European nation-state.The third chapter:the mechanism analysis of the unity of European nation-states. This chapter is mainly focused on the reality of European integration and analyses the factors and models of the unity of European nation-states. It offers countermeasures in accordance with the issues brought by the EU enlargement to the East and looks into the future of the European integration.The forth chapter:the national joint practice of the Soviet Union and China discusses issues on selecting ways of unity of multinational countries from the failures and successes of both positive and negative examples, contrasting to the European process of national unity.
